Overview

This five-part documentary explores 4,000 years of Jewish history, starting with the origins of the Jewish people in the Middle East right through to present day Judaism. The series researches the roots of the Jewish people, seeking clues about Judaism at the archaeological excavation sites, the centers of culture and in the written "evidence" of the Jewish Diaspora. "The purpose of the documentary is to give the public deeper insight, beyond the Holocaust and Israeli politics, of the Jewish people," Nina Koshofer, director of the documentary said.
